Mary R. Marketing Proposal

Proposal presented by: Deese Marketing Association

OVERVIEW & GOALS

Hello, Mary.

Marketing is all about connections. Connecting the right message with your target audience, connecting your solution with their pain point, and connecting your business goals with the desired results.

Here at Deese Marketing Association, we’re pros at making connections (fun fact: our favorite hobby is Dot-to-Dot). We’ll help you define who your most lucrative target audience is, develop messaging that speaks to them directly, position your product or service as THE can’t-live-without solution, and make it easy for them to engage and buy.

Once we’re able to dig in a little deeper, we’ll create a customized plan of attack that makes sense for your audience, your industry, and your goals. It could be a mix of product development, market research, branding, online and offline advertising, public relations, and content marketing.

Connections are also about relationships. And our relationship with our clients is both a priority and a point of pride.

So, let’s start making connections, and watch your business grow.

Sincerely,

John E Deese

Owner, Deese Marketing Association

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Step 1: Defining Your Product or Service

What’s the big idea? This is where you educate us – about your products, your services, and what makes you tick as a company. We listen carefully and work with you to define the customer experience – from first contact to maintenance and retention.

Step 2: Understanding Your Market

Where does it hurt? You have the solution – the key is to pinpoint exactly where the problem lies. It’s all about research. Our job is to work with you to identify the clients and customers who need and want what you have to offer, analyze your competitors, and find the sweet spot where long-term customer relationships grow.

Step 3: Identifying and Engaging Your Target Customers

So what? Now that we know what’s special about you, the matchmaking begins. Winning clients and customers is a courtship process, and we’ve got you covered from first date to going steady. Like any healthy relationship, it’s a two-way street. We’ll listen more than we talk, and build trust the old fashioned way through dialogue and evidence-based decisions.

Step 4: Creating Your On and Offline Communications and Promotion Strategy

What do YOU need? There’s a lot of noise out there. We don’t sell you a canned marketing strategy full of check boxes – we draw on years of experience and a sincere belief in what you do and create a tailored and tactical approach to marketing your product or service.

Deese Marketing Association offers a full slate of integrated services:

advertising
on and offline content creation and management
social media

Once we’ve built a foundation of facts, we’ll find the perfect communication mix to reach, engage and persuade your target market.

Step 5: Analytics – Measuring and Assessing Results

Where’s the beef? Our work here is done when we can show you – on paper – the tangible results of your investment. Whether it’s page views, website visits, conversion of prospects, or the bottom line, we’re confident that Deese Marketing Association’s marketing strategies quite literally pay off. We’ll work with you to set goals and meet them, tweaking plans and tactics along the way.

We’ll deliver a branding strategy and design a new logo. After the strategy and design is approved we’ll deliver a branding guidelines document.

You’ll have two or more weekly opportunities to review our work and provide feedback. If, at any stage, you’re not happy with the direction our work is taking, you will pay us in full for everything we’ve produced up to that that point and then cancel this contract.

ERRORS

We can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free (we’re human!) so we can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised us of them.

2.0 Mutual Cooperation

{company_name} will invoice {client_name} for fifty per cent (50%) of the initial fees at point of this signed contract agreement which will act as the deposit. The remaining 50% will be billed monthly as the service hours are spent or when the project is launched.

4.4 COLLECTION COSTS

In the event that we incur legal fees, costs and disbursements in an effort to collect our invoices, in addition to interest on the unpaid balance, you agree to reimburse us for these expenses.

You have the right to modify, reject, cancel or stop any and all plans or work in process. However, you agree to reimburse us for all costs and expenses we incurred prior to your change in instructions, and which relate to non-cancellable commitments, and to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless for any liability relating to such action.
